The issue is more clearly defined if we indicate that we are considering Embryonic or Adult Stem Cells. The embryonic cell in research are under objection by certain churches because the embryo is considered a life form.

The problem also that exists is that the embryonic cell tends to create tumor , because the cells involved are pluripotent, non-specific, which means that they can form ant type of body cell freely. Thus they multiply rapidly, sometimes to random tumor-like bodies.

The adult stem cells are more specific, not having the tumor creating problem, sometimes Being mutipotent. Thus the cells can form more than one type of cell, yet remain stable.

Many Churches consider this a sanctity of life issue & the problems or lack thereof, being the hand of God guiding the process to guard life.
